The City of Norman (Okla.) has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments to expand the storage tanks at its compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station to better meet demand during peak hours, reports the Norman Transcript.

The city's CNG station opened in 2012. It is open to the public and managed by the city's fleet management division. Norman's fleet division also maintains 87 CNG fleet vehicles, including refuse trucks.

An automotive-related sustainability stakeholder group has announced that it appreciates that language within the Trump administration’s proposed rule aimed at rolling back automobile fuel-efficiency targets set by the Obama administration reflects that "natural gas is an important part of the climate change battle."
